Teams Webinar: Ending the meeting

Hi @Louise B, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.        

Regarding you want to restrict who can start and end the webinar. 

I want to clarify that currently, Microsoft Teams does not provide a built-in option to restrict who can start and end the Webinar.  

I agree this would be a valuable enhancement for the organizer to manage the Webinar event. Reduce the possibility of mis click the "End event" button. In that case, I sincerely recommend you go to Feedback community hare it through the official Microsoft Feedback Portal. This is the best way The Product Team is in-charge of the feedback site, and they are constantly checking the comments and feedback from our customer. Many features have been developed or improved based on users' comment.       

As a moderator, I don’t have the ability to change or influence Microsoft’s product design or service limitations directly.    

How to Submit Your Suggestion to Microsoft:.    

Visit the Microsoft Feedback Portal:    

Go to: Microsoft Teams · Community  then Send Feedback and Describe your proposal in detail    

Describe your suggestion clearly for example:   

“Option to prevent presenter to have the ability to "End event" ”  

 I see that a lot of other user have the same idea
